【解析】

本文介紹了凱倫有個(gè)兒子叫邁克爾。凱倫和她丈夫很快就會(huì)有另一個(gè)孩子了。邁克爾很高興成為一個(gè)哥哥。他每天都給嬰兒唱一首歌。后來邁克爾的妹妹出生了。但她情況不太好。日子一天天過去了。小女孩沒有好轉(zhuǎn)。醫(yī)生告訴父母希望渺茫。然后邁克爾不停地要求他的父母讓他去看望他的妹妹。“我想唱給她聽，”他說。最后，凱倫決定帶邁克爾去看望他的妹妹。醫(yī)生一開始拒絕了邁克爾。但在凱倫的懇求下，醫(yī)生同意了。邁克爾看著他虛弱的妹妹。開始給她唱歌，女嬰似乎有反應(yīng)。脈搏和呼吸開始平靜下來。一天一天，邁克爾不停地唱歌。幾個(gè)月后，這個(gè)小女孩就可以回家了。所有的醫(yī)生和護(hù)士都稱之為奇跡，兄弟之愛的奇跡。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Michael was happy to be a brother.”可知，邁克爾很高興成為一個(gè)哥哥。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Then Michael kept asking his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he said.”然后邁克爾不停地要求他的父母讓他去看望他的妹妹�！拔蚁氤�給她聽，”他說�？芍�，他想給她唱歌。故選C。

【3】詞意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“Michael looked at his weak sister. After a moment, he began to sing, “You're my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy...””邁克爾看著他虛弱的妹妹。過了一會(huì)兒，他開始唱歌，“你是我的陽(yáng)光，我唯一的陽(yáng)光。你讓我快樂……”。以及下句話“The pulse(脈搏)rate and breathing began to calm down.”脈搏和呼吸開始平靜下來�？芍�，是歌聲使得小女孩有了回應(yīng)。因此句子“The baby girl seemed to respond.”中的respond應(yīng)該是“回應(yīng)”的意思。故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Several months later, the little girl was well enough to go home.”可知，邁克爾的妹妹終于越來越好了。因此選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)“The little girl didn’t get better. The doctor told the parents there was very little hope.”小女孩沒有好轉(zhuǎn)。醫(yī)生告訴父母希望渺茫�？芍�，邁克爾的妹妹沒有一直在哭。因此選項(xiàng)B不對(duì)；根據(jù)“But kids are never allowed to go to ICU(重癥監(jiān)護(hù)室).”但孩子們永遠(yuǎn)不允許去重癥監(jiān)護(hù)室。可知，醫(yī)生們已經(jīng)盡力去救那個(gè)小女孩了。因此選項(xiàng)C不對(duì)；根據(jù)“The doctors refused Michael at first.”可知，醫(yī)生一開始拒絕了邁克爾。因此選項(xiàng)D正確。故選D。

【5】最佳標(biāo)題。A. Love of a brother. 兄弟之愛。B. The power of science. 科學(xué)的力量。C. A beautiful song. 一首優(yōu)美的歌。D. a strong baby. 一個(gè)強(qiáng)壯的嬰兒。根據(jù)“Day by day, Michael kept singing. Several months later, the little girl was well enough to go home. All the doctors and nurses called it a miracle(奇跡), a miracle of the brother’s love.” 一天一天，邁克爾不停地唱歌。幾個(gè)月后，這個(gè)小女孩就可以回家了。所有的醫(yī)生和護(hù)士都稱之為奇跡，兄弟之愛的奇跡。因此標(biāo)題用Love of a brother. 兄弟之愛。合適。故選A。

本題的第3小題是詞義猜測(cè)題。詞義猜測(cè)題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測(cè)詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內(nèi)容。詞義猜測(cè)題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義和語(yǔ)義的能力，突出考查對(duì)語(yǔ)境的分析和把握能力。本題可以利用上下文語(yǔ)境來猜測(cè)詞意。猜測(cè)任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對(duì)需要猜測(cè)的詞或短語(yǔ)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推測(cè)。
